This is so poignant and written with the hand of a truly compassionate woman who is in the midst
of a tragedy of unfathomable perception. Alison, the title is so pertinent, the words woven with skill,
and the entirety of the work a 'feather in your cap' as a poet who can bring the reader to the point of where you and many others are in your part of Australia. Karin Anderson

Dear Allie, whenever disaster strike we all want to reach out and add our bit of support to those whom have suffered loss of some kind because of it. This is a heart rendering reminder to us all that it is not only those directly involved in the disaster that we must and need to reach out to, but also the family and friends of those who have suffered losses. This is a brave and heart wrenching write and my heart goes out to everyone whom suffered.Thank you for sharing this my friend.
Hugs David xxxx

You have written a heart-dissolving poem, Alison. Your pain is deeper than words. Rows of eager faces perhaps will never be forgotten.

'When there is dearth of dreams
And the sleep refuse to meet
At the borders of day and night
I preserve faces in eyes....
Faces, whom I saw
Turning into tears
At the time of departing
Faces, whom I saw
Melting under water...
Faces, where the weathers played hide and seek...'
